Leaky Radiator

[Twintruder]

So I am new to riding and working in the bikes and stuff. I recently picked up an ‘05 S50 Boulevard, and I had noticed after I purchased it looks like there is a small coolant leak on the top left part of the radiator. (left side if you are looking from front of the bike, right side if you are on the bike.) Just wondering what you guys think might be the issue with this. thanks in advance.

Edit: I also do not know how to add photos so when I figure out I will post photos.

You may have a lose return hose at the bottom right (if your sitting on the bike)of then radiator.
I would remove the shroud*(if you haven't already ) and look for coolant
Or it may be the Radiator cap
If you have a Radiator presser tester that would speed up the process
You may be able to take it to a Radiator Shop to test it \They can test it on the bike and if it is the radiator they may have a fix for you
Check all of your clamps

It could also be the reserve tank, or the hose that connects it.

Remove the shroud and do what the others say.
Determine where the leak is.
I have a solid radiator from an "07 S50, no leaks, it'll bolt right in.
It may be cheaper to replace rather than repair.
Send me an email thru my profile if you are interested.

So it looks like there is a crack on the top right on the side of the radiator (if you are sitting on the bike. I topped off the coolant and cleaned all of it up and then rode around the street to see where the leak was coming from. It is a very small crack so it was hard to find until I seen where the coolant had collected. Anyway, at this point it seems like it is just best to replace the radiator itself, all other connections look good, I do think its just from this crack.

Thanks for all the positive feedback and help!
